UPDATE TO SUPPORT FOR VICTIMS
In a statement following publication of the Inquiry report, the Focolare Movement has said:
“The main concern of the Movement is to contribute as much as possible to the process of reconstruction of the victims, including financial compensation, if necessary and requested.
Therefore, following the recommendation of the Church in France, the Focolare Movement has asked the 'Independent Commission for Recognition and Reparation' (CRR) - a multidisciplinary body composed of experts from civil society and established by CORREF (Conference of Religious of France) - to accompany victims who wish to do so in their reparation process. Victims can now contact this organisation.

In order to respect its commitment to JMM victims, the Movement had previously set up a psychological support procedure coordinated by Dr Alexis Vancappel. This procedure will continue for those victims who have already used this service.”
